Description
Round orange badge, "Support UFW Boycott" in black around the edge, with a black stylised silhouette of an eagle in the centre. This badge likely refers to the 1965-1970 United Farm Workers (UFW) strike in which Filipino American agricultural workers protested poor pay and conditions. The strike gained widespread support and led to product boycotts. The strike was successful achieving union contracts with better pay, benefits and protections.
